Has input on so many issues and has had a career in just about everything. I am impressed by him.

corrupt, sell-out politicians, who SOMETIMES talk a good line, but then slither back into the piles of cash they have collected from corporate lobbyists.

Good one, Mr. Borowitz.

Harland Dorrinson is a character from the imagination of Andy Borowitz. Nevertheless, he sounds like a real thrid-way Democrat (formerly known as DLC).

I stand with Senator Warren, who stands with me and what's left of the American middle class or those who have fallen out of it.

A warning to the real third-way strategists: limiting the voters' choice to a Republican Wall Street whore and a Democratic Wall Street whore is not a winning strategy, either in any given election or for America's future. Many voters will find their own third way, and that may include staying home on election day or voting for a candidate with no chance of winning just because he addresses real problems with workable solutions.

That's not a threat; that's a fact. We've seen it demonstrated as a fact over and over again during the last thirty-five years. A third way solution only works when the country finally get too fed up with somebody named Bush -- for good reason -- and falls into the bad habit of voting Republican again whenever the new Democratic majority starts sound like a Republican and trade and commerce issues. The third-way posters at DU may propagate otherwise, but in the Democrats' electoral results over the last thirty-five years have been a dismal record of underachievement, especially in 1988, 1994, 2002, 2010 and just last month.

The only thing that makes a Democrat better than a Republican nowadays is the Democrat is for civil rights, sometimes even for civil liberties, and otherwise like Republican-lite the Republican politicians, bought lock, stock and barrel by the Birch Society-bred Koch brothers, sound like Nazi-lite and rank-and-file tea partiers sound like genuine storm troopers. That's not an acceptable choice in a general election.
